Once there was a ribbon <br />a single red ribbon <br />two gold rings threaded. <br />Upon either end. <br /> <br />Upon a silver tray <br />were rings placed <br />with silver scissors <br />beside a single red rose. <br />In token symbol <br />of love everlasting <br />tender young love <br />beauty still held at bay. <br /> <br />Once there were two hearts <br />lonely grief striken hearts. <br />Hanging lost separate lives <br />like loose hanging threads. <br />As rings were tied <br />so were their lives. <br />As rings were sealed <br />in red threaded ties. <br /> <br /> <br />Rings must be taken. <br />Placed awaited longing finger. <br />Symbolically joining two forsaken. <br />Could no longer isolated linger. <br /> <br />Red ribbon cut <br />in a free easy moment <br />two joined in symbol <br />never free when apart. <br />Witness joining of two <br />could not be apart. <br />Symbolically spiritually two <br />already entwined deeply at heart. <br /> <br />Once there was a ribbon <br />a single red ribbon. <br />Two could not be apart <br />never were they apart. <br />With a love that outlasts <br />frail human heart. <br />With a love that outlasts <br />the very beats of their synchronized hearts. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © Terence George Craddock<br /><br />Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/single-red-ribbon/
